Description
Returns a measure of spread associated with the circular median of a vector of circular data.
Usage
1
meandeviation(x, na.rm = FALSE)
Arguments
x
a vector. The object is coerced to class
circular.
na.rm
logical, indicating if NA's should be
omitted.
Details
See equation (2.33) at pag. 36 in Fisher (1993)
for its definition. In the case the circular median is not defined, that
is, every angle is a median axis, the mean deviation is not reported and
set to NA.
Value
Returns a measure of spread associated with the circular median of a
vector of circular data.
